I was laid low with a nasty virus for a few days but am much better now and my crochet hook is burning hot! Here are 3 diaper sets for baby boys that will be donated to Gods Tiny Angels. Now to make a couple sweater sets.

I finally finished another baby blanket. It seemed to take forever. I made a few mistakes and had to rip it and re-do a few times. I used the popcorn stitch with an F hook and Bernat Baby Sport yarn. I am very please the way it turned out.

We donated 40 baby hats, both newborn and preemie and 3 baby blankets to our local hospital today and we also donated 34 hats for Help 4 Kids and Backpack Buddies here in South Carolina along with food stuff. We are off to a good start for 2012.

I really enjoyed crocheting this baby blanket in mint green using Lion Brand Pound of Love yarn. I purchased the pattern from a lady in Australia and it is written in British terms, but very easy to convert to US terms. I made a couple small changes to the original pattern by changing the turning chain and used a simple double crochet border.

I have started a new hobby painting and decorating birdhouses. I was requested to share pictures of them here. I did the Mickey Mouse birdhouse first then the brick with vines next. This new hobby gives me a break form all the crocheting I do.
